    Replacing rusted out fuel tanks

    Might not have been a Hatteras.. In fact now that you mention it, it was NEXT to the 53 Hatteras and I think it was a 47 Jefferson... You know that boat intimately too? I'm done with your help too... Thanks for nothing...

    Replacing rusted out fuel tanks

    Never said 12' square hole... You did... Just exploring all possibilities.. I witnessed a local boatyard cut out the tanks through the hull on a 53' Hatteras and seal it back up where you couldn't even tell.. You obviously don't know what you're talking about... They did it in a few days too.
